Here's a beautiful reminiscence of a brilliant and eccentric scholar.
It's always a pleasure to hear of someone so multi-talented who knew how to enjoy life. https://openthemagazine.com/lounge/books...-of-a-man/ The fact that he loved the Muslim world, and knew it intimately (and knew many Muslim men very intimately as well) is a welcome antidote to the anti-Muslim bigotry we hear so often from people who know much less. 
Iran's top nuclear scientist.

Bruce Boynton, civil rights activist and (then) law student whose refusal to move from the 'whites only' section of a bus station café led to the Freedom Rides and a Supreme Court decision which made bus station segregation illegal, dead at 83.

David Prowse - mostly known for playing Darth Vader.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Not unexpected after the two cables broke. Sad day for radio astronomy.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
